Longevity, measured by cohort life expectancy, has risen steadily in high-income countries since the early 1900s, raising expectations that this trend will continue. However, whether these gains will ...

As climate change accelerates, effectively monitoring and managing the growing impacts on biodiversity is an urgent priority. Here, we identify the exposure of species to unprecedented heat to ...

Remembrance of phytoplankton’s pastNote: The article usage is presented with a three- to four-day delay and will update daily once available. Due to ths delay, usage data will not appear immediately ...

Air-breathing vertebrates incorporate a fraction of isotopically anomalous air O2 in their body water. The 17O isotope anomaly of air O2 (expressed as Δ’17Oair) is related to atmospheric CO2 concen ...

This paper is a preliminary report of an investigation dealing with the inheritance of a retinal abnormality in white mice. The problem was undertaken at the suggestion of Dr. S. R. Detwiler who has ...

The steroidogenic enzyme 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (3βHSD1) correlates with tumor aggressiveness, and its inhibitors, biochanin-A (BCA) and the related analogs, have shown antitumor ...

Among them, Dux has been considered as a master inducer for regulating ZGA process (3 – 5). Dux (also named as Duxf3) in mice and its human homolog DUX4 are double homeodomain genes activated during ...

Extracellular redox-active compounds, flavins and other quinones, have been hypothesized to play a major role in the delivery of electrons from cellular metabolic systems to extracellular insoluble ...
